No. Just 13kg, IIRC. Though I once sped through this curve https://osm.org/go/0GJEvDJAo?m= , on my backwheel only (In a wheelie so to speak), at about 40 to 60kph, having accelerated with a scream of rage on the parking space there. Burning rubber. Almost ran over a female teacher of mine, after that curve. Still wheelieing up, cursing "Shit! Shit! Outta my way! Shit! Sorry!" fast, trying to bring the front wheel down by leaning hard into the handlebar, all in a blur. Still burning rubber. Didn't really work until the next crossing, which I also took with the frontwheel up in the air, but not so high anymore. I still don't get how exactly I did that. Because I havn't done that before. Just feeling impossible rage, and having the urge to get away from there ASAP, or else...
I'm just remembering six fast jerking motions, bringing me around that curve on the backwheel only. Instinct, guardian angel, who knows?
Rage was expensive. Backtire slick, internal wire netting visible all along. 30 Deutsche Marks gone :-(
OTOH I had unforgettable sex with that (sports)teacher(a very good and early triathlete) a few hours later :-)
Edit: I didn't even notice the burning rubber. I've just been shown my visible skidmarks on the tarmac, and they still stank.
I've been assured that they literally did burn in parts, with tiny blueish flame. But not for long, 2 minutes at most.
Looking at my backwheel...slick to the netting. Meh!
